SIR JOHN

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 704 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIR JOHN of Seton (d. c. 1441) was taken prisoner at Homildon Hill in 1402. He was
hostage
  in England for the
earl
  of Douglas in 1405, and again in 1423 for James I. He married Lady Janet Dunbar, daughter of the loth
earl
  of March. His son Sir William was killed at Verneuil, fighting on the French side, leaving as
heir
  GEORGE (d. 1478), 1st Lord Seton, who was created a lord of
parliament
  in 1448 as Lord Seton. By his first
marriage
  with Margaret, daughter of John Stewart, earl of Buchan, he had a son John, who died during his father's lifetime. He was succeeded by his grandson GEORGE, 2nd Lord Seton (d. 15o8), who was a scholar of St Andrews and Paris, and in common report a necromancer. He was captured by the Flemings, and on his release fitted out and maintained a ship for the purpose of harassing Flemish travellers. His son GEORGE, 3rd Lord Seton, was killed at Flodden in 1513. He redeemed estates which his father had sacrificed to support his enterprises against the Flemings. By his
marriage
  with Janet, daughter of Patrick Dunbar, 1st earl of Bothwell, he left a son GEORGE, 4th Lord Seton (d. 1549), who allowed Cardinal Beaton to escape from custody in 1543, and received considerable grants of land in the sequel. The castle and church of Seton were burnt by
Hertford
  in revenge for the part he had taken against the English in r 544.
